Someone is trying to do something about the fake news that being spewed out by our media - even the present government is behind the fake news:

Information is the life blood of democracy. If we lose trust in the news, how can citizens possibly make informed decisions at the polls?

Some TV stations air “news segments” that look like everyday journalism but that are actually produced by the federal government or large corporations and are designed to promote a political position or product.

The Federal Communications Commission must enforce rules stating that TV stations “must clearly disclose” when they air news segments produced by the government or other entities.

The Center for Media and Democracy has produced an excellent report documenting 98 instances that TV stations used fake news by corporations like Pfizer, Intel, General Motors, and Capital One. Click here to read the report, and you can also subscribe to their updates on this issue.

The New York Times reported last year that at least 20 federal agencies distributed “Video News Releases” on topics such as Iraq and the Medicare prescription drug act.1

The Federal Communications Commission recently announced that it would investigate fake news but has made no sign that enforcement of its own rules banning it is anywhere on the horizon.

More people get their news from television than any other source. Let’s do everything we can to make sure the information they get is fair and accurate.

For media accountability,
